End IP Address Type in the last address of the contiguous IP address range to be used by the Router for DHCP function. Netmask Type in a subnet mask IP address.
DSL-1500G SHDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide NAT Configuration Network Address Translation (NAT) is a routing protocol that allows your network to become a private network that is isolated from, yet connected to the Internet. It does this by changing the IP address of packets from a global IP address usable on the Internet to a local IP address usable on your private network (but not on the Internet) and vice-versa. The Router allows up to 128 host IP addresses. NAT has two major benefits.
DSL-1500G SHDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide DMZ IP Address NAT may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or playing Internet video games. For these applications, a NAT bypass can be set up using a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is a “visible” address and does not benefit from the full protection of the NAT function. Therefore it is advisable that other security precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices on the LAN.
DSL-1500G SHDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide IP Masquerade Timer The IP Masquerade Timer is used to control how frequently the IP Masquerade table is updated. The IP Masquerade table is used to map the internal LAN IP addresses to the external WAN global IP address used for your account. If you are familiar with Ethernet switching, you can think of the IP Masquerade Timer as being similar to a MAC address table timeout in a switch.
DSL-1500G SHDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Port Redirection Port Redirection Menu The Port Redirection feature of the Router is used in conjunction with NAT or IP Masquerading to improve security and efficiency. Port redirection can be used to direct potentially hazardous packets to a proxy server outside your firewall. For example, you can configure the Router to direct HTTP packets to a designated HTTP server in the DMZ.
DSL-1500G SHDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Port redirection is universally enabled or disabled for the Router with the Port Redirection State drop-down menu. The Existing Entry number tells you how many sets currently are configured. The Valid Entry number tells you the number of sets that are active. Select index to set When adding a new set, choose the Not selected option from the dropdown menu first. This will automatically add the next available index number to the new rule.
DSL-1500G SHDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Static Route Configuration Use Static Routing to specify a route used for data traffic within your Ethernet LAN or to route data on the WAN. This is used to specify that all packets destined for a particular network or subnet use a predetermined gateway. The Existing Entry number tells you how many routes are currently configured. The Valid Entry number tells you the number of routes that are enabled.
DSL-1500G SHDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Advanced Filter & Firewall One of the most important elements of any network security implementation is the firewall. Packet filtering is a basic firewall security measure and should be used on any network that is exposed to security risk. A packet filter system examines data packets and scrutinizes them in order to control network access. Filtering rules determine whether packets are passed through the Router from either side of the gateway.
DSL-1500G SHDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Define these variables for each filter rule: Select index to set When adding a new rule, choose the Not selected option from the dropdown menu first. This will automatically assign the next available index number to the new rule. If you are deleting or modifying an existing rule, select it and click the appropriate button to the right. Item Name Name filtering rule defined here. State Select Enabled to start using the static route when it is applied.
